- Jisoo’s AMORTAGE and ME albums bring her total solo sales past 2 million.
- She now ranks as the top-selling female soloist on Circle Chart.
- Jisoo overtakes IU, Lisa, and Rosé in cumulative solo album sales.
Jisoo has officially become the top-selling female K-pop soloist on the Circle Chart (formerly Gaon), surpassing her BLACKPINK bandmates Lisa and Rosé, as well as solo legend IU. Her debut album ME sold over 1.5 million copies, and her latest release AMORTAGE pushed her total sales past the 2 million mark.
The success of AMORTAGE and its title track Earthquake also signals Jisoo’s evolving artistry. Known initially for her delicate visuals and vocal tone, she’s now stepping into a bolder, more experimental musical era.
Jisoo’s Solo Reign: Breaking Records and Redefining Success
Jisoo’s recent feat on the Circle Chart highlights her dominance in the K-pop industry as a soloist. While BLACKPINK continues to hold a strong legacy as a group, Jisoo’s individual impact is now carving a parallel legacy of its own. Her strong chart presence in both South Korea and international markets shows her growing global influence.
AMORTAGE introduced a more emotionally charged, mature sound, reflecting Jisoo’s growth as an artist. The album’s success not only solidified her musical identity but also proved her versatility beyond BLACKPINK’s group aesthetic. It offered fans a raw and refined glimpse into her personal artistry.
Surpassing IU — long considered the gold standard for female soloists in Korea — is a particularly notable moment in Jisoo’s career. With IU’s album sales at 1.84 million, Jisoo’s 2 million+ total marks a generational shift in K-pop’s solo scene. This milestone is being seen by fans and critics as a sign of changing tides in the industry.
Despite her solo achievements, Jisoo remains loyal to BLACKPINK. While group comeback news remains under wraps, the members are preparing for a world tour in 2025. This gives hope to BLINKs that both solo and group moments will coexist in the coming months, offering the best of both worlds.
Jisoo’s recent record-breaking success isn’t just a win for her — it represents a larger movement of female soloists rising and thriving in the ever-evolving K-pop landscape.
